Tourists will soon have a new way to see the lights of Las Vegas: By being spit out of the mouth of an 11-story slot machine and zinged down a five-block zip line past some of the city’s oldest casinos.

When it comes to Las Vegas, most visitors just see the neon lights, endless rows of slot machines, glamorous shows and lavish buffets, but what many people don’t notice are the millions of dollars spent to market Las Vegas to the LGBT community.

After more than 15 years of planning, the Neon Museum, a Las Vegas historical institution dedicated to the preservation and celebration of some of the city’s most distinctive architectural landmarks, will open its doors to the public in October 2012.

Bellagio received accolades at the 2012 World Travel Awards’ Caribbean & The Americas Ceremony on Sept. 14 in Turks & Caicos. The AAA Five Diamond Las Vegas resort has been recognized as North America’s Leading Casino Resort.
